Operation bring Tanner home!

On January 7, 2022, Tanner was involved in a very severe accident while on family vacation in Hawaii. The accident left him with a broken vertebrae and very limited mobility in his limbs. He underwent surgery to try and repair the broken vertebrae and has since gone through extensive physical and occupational therapy while in the ICU unit in Hawaii. In the coming days, Tanner and his family are hoping to get him moved via air ambulance to a rehabilitation facility closer to home. If anyone knows Tanner, Maddie, or any of the Schmalings, you know they are the most genuine people and would do anything for anyone if they thought they could help. I believe now is the time where all of us need to rally together to help them in this great time of need. Anything you can do to help will be greatly appreciated by everyone involved. We will be providing updates through this site for all of you to keep up to date on Tanners progress. We thank you in advance for your donations.
